Sea lions and cormorants at Breakwater

There was a pile of cute sea lion pups hanging out down by the Coast Guard area today.

Just look how snugly they are!
One little pup wanted to join the pile but the top of the pup pile didn’t want him to join.
Tranquility restored to the pup pile.
The cormorants are nesting all over the end of the pier.
We hadn’t noticed the blue on these cormorants earlier in the year.

Pretty birds!

Seal beach pups and a few friends

There were a bunch of really cute seals and their pups on the seal beach by Hopkins Marine Station today. The pups are starting to be weaned and some of them still want to nurse.

A big elephant seal up on the beach. It’s starting to molt.
Lots of molting action on this sea elephant.
Just look at this cutie! Look at those cute eyes!
